I agree about the benefit of keeping in touch on Facebook. I've spent my life moving around and it's exceedingly difficult to stay in touch with all my friends across 15 different states and cities when everyone has lives and jobs and families and such. Before Facebook, I had to let go of some of those relationships because I just couldn't manage it.
Now I can. And I've reconnected with people from my childhood...and friends that I've lost touch with from all stages of my life.
On my birthday, I had over 40 people, again, from all stages of my life, wish me happy birthday on Facebook. It made me cry. (yes, I'm a dork).
I know plenty of people who don't bother with Facebook (or other similiar sites) because most of their friends and family are local. If I were in that situation, I probably wouldn't need it either. But for my life, it's been wonderful.

I have two facebook accounts. One is very limited - only my family and friends. No one can even search for me there my security is set so tight. I also have a Kelownagurl Tris FB account and that one is open to anyone who asks to 'friend' me. No personal info there. Makes it much easier to separate my real life and internet life.

My sister in law has been married to my brother for 14 years and was with him for several years before that. I've gotten to know her better in four months on facebook than in all that time.
Also have reconnected with alot of friends and family from my former "lives."
